D5       C5      G5 
Woke up 5 a.m , put on my camouflage  
D5            C5        G5 
wiped off my .243 and fired up my dodge 
D5             C5           G5 
headed out to my old deerstand back in the pines 
D5              C5                  G5 
gonna get me a 10 point buck with 11 inch tines, yeah 
 
Settled in hidin from the wind waitin on the sun 

You might end up bein' my supper if you get in the way of my gun 

It's so still i can hear the train from ten miles away 

If I'm here 8 hours from now it'll be okay, yeah 


             D5              C5       G5         D5      
'Cause I'm a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road 
      D5                     C5               G5 
I'm a backwoods boy with no better place to go 
C5                 D5                  C5              D5  
Waitin' on a deer wishin' on a star, I'll always be true to my heart 
             D5          C5   G5               D5 
'Cause I'm a backwoods boy, I'm a backwoods boy  
 
Sittin' on the bank of Lynches river with a little campfire 
Sleepin' on the ground, diggin' the sound of a backwoods choir 
Talkin to the man on the moon way up in the sky 
He told me to let my worries roll on by, yeah 
 
 
Chorus 
 
I'm a backwoods boy 
I'm a backwoods boy 
Backwoods boy 
Mmm... 
I'm a backwoods boy
